Title: Orvis - Icon 'Handmade' Cj3b can be yours....
Post by: 3aJeeper on April 16, 2012, 06:22:06 PM: ...for only $115,000! :o And no, that's not a typo.

Now, it does have a VW TDI engine and some other upgraded goodies, but Holy Smokes! I just thought that was hysterical.

Here is the link: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=6R5K

Who knew I was creating such an investment? ï¿½;D

That's too much work, maybe next time. And what's up with the VW engine? I've seen German engineering, They put wheels on with bolts instead studs and washers. Do you know what a PITA it is to try and hold a tire up to a hub with one hand and line a bolt up with the other?

On the other hand, the Orvis ZJs did get the full on Limited treatment and the complete "Up Country" suspension package, which is something I wish my 5.9 Limited ZJ had. ï¿½I still gag each time I drive the 96' Orvis I got for my parents.
